Through this presentation, I will question the evolution of Sarajevo's landscape with the example of commercial centres.
Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina since the country declared its independence from Yugoslavia in April 1992. With a population of just over 400,000 inhabitants the city has undergone deep changes since the 1990s. Within a transition from a socialist planned economy, with a substantial decentralisation and elements of a market economy, to a liberal and market economy, the city also experienced a conflict lasting for almost four years, from April 1992 to February 1996, and suffered from one of the longest sieges in modern warfare.
I will study the evolution of three places (BBI Centar, Skenderija, Sarajevo City Center) located in the centre of Sarajevo and all differently impacted by the conflict and see how these places reshaped the urban landscape of the city.
